RB. Alabama. Derrick Henry. 31. player. 87. Jonathan Stewart has remained a steady presence for the Carolina Panthers at running back, but how much longer can he last.  Injuries continue to hamper him and the team doesn’t have a legitimate workhorse who can take his place if he suffers a sudden decline. <p>That all changes the moment they take Derrick Henry.  Some will argue he was a product of a great offensive line at Alabama, but the truth is Henry is a legitimate running back.  His size and power alone make it difficult to get him on the ground, but he also demonstrates vision and acceleration to find and hit holes quickly, leading to big gains.  See how good that offense gets when he joins the fray.</p>
